This is the last of a dying breed. The RCA and, later, Thomson, plants in Lancaster were devoted to the design of televisions that relied on cathode ray tubes. In their attempts to compete with the growing trend of LCD and plasma televisions, the designers at the plant worked hard to make their televisions thinner. This is the last television to be designed at the Lancaster plant. It is the world's thinnest tube-style wide-screen television. Only 5 were ever produced.
"The image orthocon tube was at one point colloquially referred to as an "Immy". Harry Lubcke, the then-President of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, decided to have their award named after this nickname. Since the statuette was female, it was feminized into 'Emmy'."
